Paranal & Pan de Azúcar: The frontier
A brief insight into the chaotic and hopelessly uninformed way in which these tails are brought to you. In truth the only reason I had come to Chile was to establish why I had placed two little stars on the map of the country an indeterminable time ago, the first was Chuquicamata which I had

Encarnación: Banished from the land!
Driven.Derelict.Deranged I’d read some accounts of crossing the border into Paraguay as a little on the sketchy side from previous travellers’ accounts.

Phuket & Phi Phi: With the Spices
It was a rainy journey from Krabi to Phuket on an old rickety bus. We’d initially been loaded onto a minivan with our bags dumped on the roof without any rain cover so we hastily got off the van and told the driver we wouldn’t be travelling with him. The old rickety bus would do,

Koh Phangan: Bugs In Action
Surprising.Tranquil.Inviting Our decision to head to Koh Phangan was a spare of the moment one. We had a loose plan to head to the North of Thailand after leaving Nong Khai but we’d made no onward travel arrangements which worked in our favour. The day before leaving Nong Khai Chris had a conversation with his
